Ezra & Gil

20 Hilton Street

Northern Quarter

Manchester

M1 1FR

Ezra means ‘helper’ & Gil means ‘happiness’, which sounds a recipe for good service and contented customers – a combination this self-styled urban coffee house pulls off with aplomb. Prices are good for some full-bodied brews and ToM likes their all day pancakes, savoury and sweet. A place you can linger in over your laptop or meet friends at.
